# Everton: Fans show love for former star after heartwarming message to Andre Gomes

**Former Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye has shown his support for ex-teammate Andre Gomes following his horrific injury at the weekend.**

The Toffees [drew 1-1 with Spurs on Sunday](https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ACYBGNQeoTHGp8WOPuAImBK-_YFwpbu1Pg%3A1572959561024&source=hp&ei=SHXBXcarPMfQwALi2oOAAg&q=everton+1-1+spurs&oq=everton+1&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.35i39j0i3j0j0i3j0l6.146.1968..3993...0.0..0.88.643.9......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i131.Ge1pGVpUgkM), courtesy of a dramatic 97th-minute[equaliser from Cenk Tosun](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WejJ6loVdKo&feature=onebox), but the result was somewhat overshadowed by Gomes’ painful-looking injury sustained just ten minutes from full time.

Everton have since confirmed that the Portuguese [suffered a severe dislocation on his ankle](https://twitter.com/Everton/status/1191369510051123200), with some reports suggesting that the player could [miss a huge portion of the season](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/everton/everton-portuguese-doctor-claims-andre-gomes-will-be-out-for-three-to-five-months/) following the devastating blow.

Gomes went in for immediate surgery on Monday, prompting ex-Toffees star Gueye to show his support in a heartwarming social media post.

The Senegalese defensive midfielder[signed for Paris-Saint Germain in the summer](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49149867), putting an end to his three-year stay at Goodison Park, but the team bond is blatantly still there.

Gueye retweeted Everton’s club post regarding the news, simply putting:
